A new Washington Post-ABC poll found that 72% of Americans “strongly” disapprove of the Republican party — yet the GOP could still take control of the Senate after the upcoming midterm elections. Those seemingly disparate results likely come from a mixture of voter apathy toward Republicans winning the Senate and a 54% disapproval rating of Barack Obama’s “handling his job.”

Lady Godiva was a Freedom Rider!
The fifth-column Washington Compost and ABC - Now that just has "reliability" written all over it. \sarc
But Orlando Democrats will vote in again Alan Grayson who PUSHED his wife, Lolita, into a door!!!! The War on Women is what the Democrats do!! Plus War on UNBORN BABIES!
AMEN!! This is WAR and Jesus isn’t running for office!!!
I don’t totally disapprove of the republican party, I disapprove of the RHINO’S WITHIN the republican party. Ideally, it would be refreshing to have a party that was truly “conservative” versus what we have today. I will still vote repub PROVIDING they select someone of credibility, it may even be a Tea Party type candidate.
The poll counts conservative who are frustrated with party.....problem for liberals is that it does them no good....the country is moving to the right.
It is an idiotic push poll. Why did they not also ask the question about dens?
Has to be the only gop in distaste by Conservatives are RINOS like cochran and lamar alexander. If alexander thinks I’m voting for him in NOV, I’d not hold my breath. I voted for conservative Joe Carr in the Primary and will do so in Nov.
alexander has broken faith with the US Constitution and his own oath of 2 terms and OUT! His distaste of the Military has been noted by me. His love of his perks means more than our Military or Ret Military to him.
Was the “poll” taken in the NYT’s newsroom ?
87 percent though approve of their own congressional member.
Reagan squandered the Reagan legacy with Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy.
So many in TN are so uninformed that it must be embarrassing.
I could get a poll that sated the same thing against dems.
it all depends on how the questions are coached and where the poll is taken.
I didn’t look real hard, but I couldn’t find much info on this poll. It’s a phone poll of 1,001 people, but they don’t break it out for LIKELY voters, only registered voters. Also, I don’t see a party breakdown showing the percentage of Dims and pubbies, so it’s worthless for conclusion drawing.
The Republicans are putting on a Prevent Defense, rather than an active offense, which might prevent them from winning.
Indeed, voter disgust with republicans is due to their refusal to confront evil, unconstitutional acts by the marxist/leninists. IMO
I think Ebola probably has higher approval ratings than either the Democrat or Republican party.
Not a legal scholar, Reagan was poorly advised.
MSNBC, I can only wonder if it is true.
